The 2010 BET Awards nominations were announced today and Jay-Z leads the pack with 5 nominations. To celebrate the 10th year of the awards show Queen Latifah will take on hosting duties and performances from Trey Songz, Nicki Minaj, Drake, and Diddy-Dirty Money have all been announced.

Let’s hope Gucci Mane & Waka Flocka don’t mix it up with anyone at the show. Just once no violence would be nice. Check out the rest of the nominees after the jump.
